Vehicle Description
Gateway Classic Cars Houston Showroom is proud to present this
blast from the past, a hippie relic, this 1970 Volkswagen
Westfalia. Affectionately known as a "Bay Window Tin Top Westy",
this red and white beauty is a both a testament to German
ingenuity, and the wanderlust of 1970's America, when many wanted
to live life free and, on the road, but in style. This bus has seen
numerous recent updates, including updated front disk brakes, new
shocks, new gas tank, new window seals, new windshield, four new LT
"Load Range C" General Grabber A/T radial tires (27x8.50R14LT), and
an engine that the owner claims only has 500 miles on it. Take a
walk around this charming blast from the past and see the Westfalia
camper package this bus sports. Inside you will see low shag red
carpet that is accompanied by a woodgrain finish along the walls
and base of the vehicle, plenty of cabinet space to put all your
camping accessories needs, and a pop-up table that is just the
right to enjoy a snack on. The camper comes with an awning that
provides a nice "covered patio area", under which you can enjoy the
breeze when you open that sliding door. To add a modern touch, the
owner installed a Sony head unit that supports Apple play, giving
you a modern-day GPS and media audio system worth enjoying. This
bus is easy to park thanks to the owner equipping it with a backup
camera that feeds what it sees to the Sony media unit. In the back,
this puppy has a 1681 CC Flat-4 that powers a 4-speed manual
transmission. This all-in-one beauty brought a new age of
pioneering and camping to the game, and this gem is a rare
commodity. So come take this restored camper bus across the country
and live the American dream before someone else lives your dream
for you.
